[Consumer Info]

First of all on the last Teoma update, unfortunatly they didnt update any of my pages..dont know exactly why. I see plenty of askjeeves spiders hit my pages all the but NEVER a Teoma spider..any help there?

Next would be seems like they have a pretty tuff algo..would anyone like to give me some pointers as far as getting better ranking there, I have paid for a few URLs to be spidered but havent been to successful. Every other SE is butter as of now and am not pulling that much traffic out of ASK/Teoma but would like to see what I could do with it.
Thanks,

i've noticed that some pages are not being updated, i would put this down to the amalgamation by ask jeeves of its assets, and teoma doing parts of its database at a time.

For Teoma.

1. Don't spam, no dup pages.
2. Structure, themed out, clearly.
3. Links from high ranking competitive or related complementary sites, have a look at the resources on the right hand side of teoma, when you are looking at the serps, this highlights, the so-called communities associated by Teoma regarding a search term.
